After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao sneered, "Speaking of which, the thing I regret most in my life is marrying you."

Zip up the suitcase and stand it upright.

Bo Yuxiu stepped forward and took the suitcase.

"I'll bring it."

Shen Yao gave a faint "hmm," which was taken as agreement.

"Let's go. Grandpa's gone, I don't want to stay in this place for even a second longer."

“Okay, let’s go.” Bo Yuxiu readily agreed to Shen Yao’s suggestion.

He let Shen Yao go first, and then followed behind.

The two brushed past Gu Tianyou, and neither of them said goodbye to him.

Ye Yingying said kindly to the two of them as they walked away, "Yaoyao, come back and visit often when you have time."

Come back and visit often?

It’s impossible.

When Grandpa Gu was still alive, she rarely went back after the divorce, let alone now that Grandpa Gu has passed away and Gu Tianyou is targeting her in every way.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

Wang Ma was directing the gardener to prune the flowers in the yard when she saw Shen Yao pulling her suitcase to leave, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

She had a vague feeling that this might be the last time the young mistress would come to the Gu family villa.

"Young Madam, do you need my help?" Wang Ma still forgot to change her address.

It wasn't until she saw the somewhat surprised look in Shen Yao's eyes that she hurriedly said, "Miss Shen... sigh, I've been used to calling you that for so many years, I can't change it all at once."

"It's alright, Aunt Wang." Shen Yao held her hand and said softly with a smile, "Take good care of yourself."

Wang Ma nodded with tears in her eyes. She caught a glimpse of Gu Tianyou coming out of the study and hurriedly said, "Young Master is out. You'd better hurry up and leave, or he'll cause you trouble again."

Wang Ma had watched Gu Tianyou grow up, and naturally, she had also watched Shen Yao grow up.

Two childhood sweethearts, who should have been happily married, have unexpectedly become enemies.

Wang Ma really couldn't understand why this was happening.

Seeing her sad, Shen Yao felt a lump in her throat.

"Take care of yourself."

Patting Wang Ma on the shoulder, Shen Yao resolutely turned and walked towards the gate.

Bo Yuxiu's car was parked outside.

Ye Yingying pulled Gu Tianyou along and walked quickly forward, trying to catch up with Shen Yao.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Gu Tianyou asked, somewhat displeased.

"Brother Tianyou, let's see Shen Yao off." Ye Yingying said earnestly.

"Why bother sending her? She treated you like that, why should you offer yourself up to her cold shoulder?" Gu Tianyou said, standing up for Ye Yingying.

“Brother Tianyou, I was wrong in the past, and I made Shen Yao suffer so much. No matter what she did to me, it was all deserved. But you are different. You and Yao Yao have been together for decades, and you were once husband and wife. It is only right and proper that you go and see her off.”

These words directly elevated Ye Yingying's moral high ground.

Gu Tianyou never expected that Ye Yingying would become so "open-minded" and "understanding".

Little did he know that Ye Yingying had deliberately made Gu Tianyou think that way.

Sending Shen Yao off was just a way to show off their affection by dragging Gu Tianyou along.

"Yingying, you're so kind, but I really don't want to face this woman."

Gu Tianyou rejected Ye Yingying's suggestion.

He said he didn't want to face Shen Yao, but what he really didn't want to see Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu together was that he didn't want to see them together.

He watched the couple walk away, and thought to himself, "Shen Yao, one day you will regret divorcing me, and you will regret being with Bo Yuxiu even more."

The BMW sped along the road.

Shen Yao was absent-minded.

Sitting in the back seat, she recalled Gu Tianyou's words, "You're far inferior to Yingying"...

She then thought of Ye Yingying's smug expression as she constantly flaunted her relationship...

I was extremely confused for a moment.

We agreed not to think about the past anymore.

However, at this moment, she is troubled by the past.

The bond that had lasted for over 20 years was like a poison, seeping into her very bones.

When she got home, Shen Yao felt dizzy and lightheaded.

She leaned back on the sofa, watching Bo Yuxiu busy himself with various tasks.

"Teacher Bo, thank you for your help today."

After hanging all the formal wear in the dressing room, Bo Yuxiu turned around and walked up to Shen Yao.

Standing at nearly 1.9 meters tall, he could be a bit intimidating, so he simply knelt down on one knee and gently grasped Shen Yao's hands with both of his.

"Shouldn't you change how you address me?"

Shen Yao hadn't reacted yet, "Why?"

After a long while, she suddenly realized what was going on.

"The title 'Teacher Bo' is fine; there's no need to change it."

"Yes." Bo Yuxiu insisted, leaving no room for negotiation.

Shen Yao, however, felt sleepy and yawned. "Let's just call him Teacher Bo."

Seeing that her eyes were glazed over and she seemed very sleepy, Bo Yuxiu did not press her further.

......

Inside the Gu family villa.

Gu Tianyou sat on the sofa in frustration and asked Wang Ma to bring over some whiskey.

"Young master, please drink less, it's almost time for dinner."

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me."

Seeing his reaction, Wang Ma dared not disobey his orders and could only open the whiskey and place it in front of him.

Ye Yingying was busy in the kitchen, saying she was going to cook a big meal for Gu Tianyou.

A series of crackling sounds and a piercing scream came from the kitchen, startling Wang Ma, who rushed into the kitchen to investigate.

It turned out that Ye Yingying hadn't even heated the pan before putting the oil in.

There was still water in the pot. As soon as the oil was added, the oil and water splattered everywhere.

Ye Yingying had never seen anything like this before and kept screaming.

Gu Tianyou, who was drinking, heard the scream and got up to go to the kitchen to see what was happening.

When Ye Yingying saw him arrive, she buried her face in his arms.

"Brother Tianyou, it's so hot, it's burning me!"

Hearing the woman's soft, whimpering voice, Gu Tianyou frowned and asked, "Where is it burned? Let me see."

As Ye Yingying spoke, she stretched out her reddened arm for Gu Tianyou to see.

Several red blisters, caused by scalding, were now visible on the woman's originally fair arms.

"Brother Tianyou, am I useless? I wanted to cook you a meal, but I ended up like this." The woman's voice choked with sobs as she spoke.

She continued, her voice still nasal, "I don't have Yao Yao's cooking skills, Brother Tianyou, will you dislike me?"

Looking at the woman's tearful eyes, Gu Tianyou tenderly wiped away her tears.

Thinking about Shen Yao's stubborn and unpleasant temper over the years, he felt more and more that he had made the right choice in choosing Ye Yingying.

"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

"This is just a minor injury, you don't need to go to the hospital, right?"

Ye Yingying reluctantly agreed, but Gu Tianyou still dragged her to the hospital.

The head of the burn unit was very nervous when he saw Gu Tianyou personally bringing his fiancée to see the doctor.

I thought it was some serious illness, but it turned out to be just a few red spots from the burns.

It's quite noticeable when I'm at home.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, they were almost invisible.
